I'm not ready to believe that the Wells Fargo issue today isn't cyber terrorism.

Yes, the news is that there has been a power issue at their server facility. Maybe. Maybe it's an announcement from an old foe that they can screw with us whenever they want.

Have you ever logged on to their websites to pay things? They have a 15-year-old looking web front. TheBlackAdder Feb 2019 #3
Agreed. The current excuse is a fire in a facility, seems kind of weak. sarcasmo Feb 2019 #6
The fire was real. It's not far from me. MineralMan Feb 2019 #7

The republicans are firm in their resolve do to DOODLEY SQUAT about the massive digital ACTS OF WAR russia has been perpetrating on the USA for the last several years, according to ALL 17 of our US Intelligence Agencies. Republicans routinely piss on the veterans who serve in our Intelligence Agencies, and pay them no attention. republicans have chosen to leave the USA open and vulnerable to these russian ACTS OF WAR.

* ronald reagan (r) warned the republicans about getting into bed with what he called the "evil empire" of russia. But the Latter Day republicans are hot for dark money, have have giddily & submissively slipped between the evil empire sheets.

When I bought my house ten years ago, I used a local lender. Two months later they sold my mortgage to WF.

I refinanced about three years after that with Quicken. Same damn thing. They immediately sold it to WF. Again.

It pisses me off that lenders are allowed to do that without your consent.

The problem is that they centralized all operations at that facility. There was a fire, and now the servers are off power and off-line. No back-up system available that can go online immediately.

I'm sure they did that to save money. Wonder how they're feeling about that today?
